    See Colon, Bartolo

    Hope that an NL team can be sold on his late season recovery as the representation of his current value; as opposed to a nice stretch of receiving lots of run support while pitching against mediocre teams

    I think we need to sell high on Gibson and move on to something else before he ReBlackburnizes. Mejia's ultimate role might be as a Mijares. Anything from AA is simply depth for a contending team.

    Today's game? Swing for the fences or strikeout - we've got that. The part of today's game we don't have is power arms with power sliders. We had Buddy Boshers warming up yesterday for gosh sakes. Get pitching and let Molitor fail when he has better options before declaring him incompetent.

    One thing I've noticed on Joe is he looks like he's running with ease around the bases. His legs must feel good and strong which is important for his hitting base.

    You could tell Ervin wasn't feeling it, or that the AZ hitters were jumping his fastballs and he needed time to rethink his game plan. Lessons I hope Berrios picks up over time. Otherwise an incredibly fun night.

    So is it time to extend Bartolo?
  8. lukeduke1980
    Trade grossman - high obp guy who switch hits - should get something. The same could be said for Esco but I think he's an intangibles guy who needs to be around. I'd trade Kintzler too, for anything.

    always a chance but they have adams and freeman at 1B

    I'm curious to see what Kansas City does with their impending free agents - buy because this is their last shot in a while or sell to regroup faster. I think the Twins should counter whatever they do with the opposite. Of course the Astros Yankees and Dodgers series might make it all moot with Gibby and Duffey and crew.

    Hunter Greene can play SS when he's not pitching
  12. lukeduke1980
    I assume when he starts that Castro will be framing his pitches...
  13. lukeduke1980
    Highly questionable is good. No one is debating anything.
  14. lukeduke1980
    A very Nick Blackburn like career
  15. lukeduke1980
    So with Buxton hitting .071 and Mauer hitting .091 can we give them a nickname? The point 0 Bros?
  16. lukeduke1980
    Agree - he's overthinks- decides to swing before the pitch is even thrown.
  17. lukeduke1980
    Can't quite have enough long relievers with this staff so I think this is a realistic acknowledgement. A little surprising there's not another RH bat for platooning against LH starters.
  18. lukeduke1980
    These things really end up working themselves out because 3 guys will come out of spring training with injuries and 3 other guys will be injured a month into the season.
  19. lukeduke1980
    'First' post and you deposit a solid single over the shortstop into left field...nice!
  20. lukeduke1980
    Aren't the majority of our starters 'flyball pitchers' anyway, save for 'Gibby'? Does that make shortstop defense more or less critical? (SS gets less chances/more important to convert them?)
  21. lukeduke1980
    Including a Nick Blackburn-like prospect = creativity.
  22. lukeduke1980
    TK insisted on playing Brent Gates a lot. I couldn't stand him
  23. lukeduke1980
    Scott Stahoviak seems to get a bad rap. His 1996 line resulted in an .845 OPS(!) 30 doubles, 13 homeruns. Tell me we wouldn't love that from our First Baseman.
  24. lukeduke1980
    Do we have an update on the 35 lb squats yet?
  25. lukeduke1980
    Lol - I meant next year they'll lose 106. And true - if your family is safe in Canada why move them now
